(i) Poaching* (ii) Human encroachment* (settlement or farming near park boundaries) 36. Why is tourism called an Industry? Tourism is called an industry because it involves a complex network of businesses and services (like hotels, transport, tour operators, and attractions) that work together to provide experiences for travelers, contributing significantly to the economy. 37. Mention any two major tourist attractions in Uganda. (i) Murchison Falls National Park* (ii) Bwindi Impenetrable National Park* (or Queen Elizabeth National Park, Lake Victoria) 38. State any two problems facing the tourism industry in Uganda. (i) Poor infrastructure* (e.g., bad roads to attractions) (ii) Insecurity* (e.g., political instability or crime in certain areas) 39. Name the major tourist attraction found in Queen Elizabeth national park. Tree-climbing lions* (or Kazinga Channel boat cruise) 40. How do hotels promote tourism in a country? Hotels promote tourism by providing accommodation and hospitality services to tourists, enhancing their comfort and experience, and often offering amenities and information that encourage longer stays and repeat visits. 41. Name the body that is responsible for conservation of the environment in Uganda. National Environment Management Authority (NEMA)* 42. How is poaching a threat to the tourism industry? Poaching is a threat to the tourism industry because it reduces wildlife populations, especially iconic species, which are a primary draw for tourists, thereby diminishing the appeal of national parks and leading to a decline in visitor numbers and revenue. 43. Mention any two human activities that destroy vegetation in an area. (i) Deforestation* (clearing forests for agriculture or timber) (ii) Overgrazing* (too many livestock eating plants faster than they can regrow) 44. How does deforestation lead to soil erosion? Deforestation leads to soil erosion because trees and plants hold soil in place with their roots. When forests are cut down, the soil is exposed to direct impact from rain and wind, which wash or blow away the topsoil, leading to erosion. Send me the next one 📸
